Those that have abused these privileges have made it more difficult for the genuine travellers to get visas. UK may be refusing 17% of visas however Indians were the highest number of migrants into uk year ending June 24. 86% migration into Uk was from non EU countries and Indian was the most common nationality for non-EU+ immigration for both work-related (116,000) and study-related (127,000) reasons in YE June 2024.

This is actually a major issue that our nation has to seriously rethink about

Palki is just bringing forward the pseudo nationalism in every case just like her bosses who refused to embrace the tricolour flag and the constitution for many years.\n\n She is just next level biased.

They just too many indian migrants.now...that not integrate into western Societies..but establish indian subcultures ..look uk,canada..thats the main reason..next to white nationalism..rising in the western World..?

It is due to the media person like you who keep on praising India and india but never highlights the flaws and issues living in india. Which flame the indian to get out from india and settled abroad. Which is growing day by day hence forcing authorities of other nations to impose ban on indian.

Wenn you eat steak every day you get sick of eating seeing and smelling steak. It’s the same with this flood of Indians, they are poor tourists, not consuming compared to other nations. Almost economic tourist to waste every business time with discount talks…. Keep your Indians.

It would be interesting to have also highlighted the number of Indians who illegally overstay in the host nation! That is the prime reason for rejection.

Well done to these nations for the rejections of those who do not deserve the visas. Indians should have a hard look at the scams they do to get these visas. Ofcourse some may be truly deserving.But immigration is there for a purpose to keep these bloody scammers out.

Its the visa regimes of sender-receiver mutual look.If India frees up like Thailand then the other nation will also do the same?

Aren't we Vishwaguru!? Then why are the Indian Passports always looked at with skepticism by the immigration abroad. Even at the Bangkok airport they look at us suspiciously. Only at Kuala Lumpur I thought they appeared a bit welcoming. Reasons, already given in the above comments. We have to look inwards. Looking at everything with the lens of hollow nationalism won't help us. Being 5th largest economy is due to the size of our population. Please club the size of economy with our per capita income...and you get the real picture.

Visa business, High income for the nation( respective USA)\nThe fund they generates, extremely high.

Indian present leadership and rule is not acceptable according to the international community. It's radical hinduism and they are watched by the nation's. Thatsy makes indians difficult to get visa. You can be best in your eyes, but not on others understanding.

Some indians almost 45 Percent travel.abroad for jobs ...in that most of ppl go on tourist visa and try to get jobs or stay illegally ..due to that western nations curb immigration by stronger border controls ....better way to come out of this problem ...create jobs ,increase salary then only country passport index goes up

India Rising is without doubt the worst possible narrative being peddled by the anchor. It is far from the truth. \nA few already rich getting richer is not to be tom-tomed for a nation of 1.5 bn. \nBesides, if the country is doing so great why are Indians so desperate to get out. To go any country, the number of legal and illegal Indians outnumbers all other arrivals. \n\nNot to forget, the anchor conveniently brushes aside the visa abuse by Indians. \n\nIf there are so many with such stringent regulations, imagine what will be the case if there is freedom of movement. \n\nGet a reality check before reporting

I am a sri lankan ,most of the indians are not travellers or tourist only a few handful, the rest for a a better opportunity because of the unemployment crisis in india in mexico and south america there are in 1000's to illegally enter usa and even in sri lanka a poor bankrupt nation we find indian illegally working specially in restaurant kitchens because they are paid /treated better than india

She very well knows the real reason but disguises that under national jingoism and lost. Propagandist, I wonder how much they get paid from the govt.

Palki what do you want all Indian move to abroad and tell other nations to leave their countries ?

Obviously vishwaguru nation pass port is sinking to Sanathani level is may be the reason..

While you're talking about Alberta, we can see (13m24-13m33) a shot of Montreal (see the Mount Royal sign) while you're not finished talking about Alberta?\n(@13m42) Is crime rate 46% above the national average, or are you saying that it is 46%, which is above the average by some undisclosed amount ? 46% more is a hell of a lot !

FLAWED ANALYSIS:.. .@3:47 flawed thinking that u can use economic leverage ... US is jacking import tarrifs ... ur rupee is falling as u have seen is cuz of that ... cuz US is going to start making and growing in house (2) india's general habit of bad mouthing around has fallen it on itself like karma ... west has realized that this particular nation is always found spewing twisted lies... all the time... (3) west has realized india does NOT have talent .. it never had talent ... west was just giving u chance cuz of non-Muslim IT region ... Pak has JF17 avionics the toughest part done inhouse and many other projects where ur talent is not just only sinking own submarines, helicopters, drones but other nations' too ... again u NEVER were talented u were given chance just cuz western rhetoric with China, Pak constituting the IT power hub ... (4) Bangladesh has also freed itself from ur poisonous propaganda .. (u lie... before 1971 it was korean war had most POWs taken after WW2 ... and its not big deal all such wars freed or traded with one thing or other)..

we have everything here why people are going to Abroad for tourism, first see India and then go to near by nations and look east. Dont go to west. west is waste.

More and more Indian visas will be rejected going further. Fix the problem rather than woke nationalism

Indians are confused with Nationalism vs communalism.. With valid visa u guys conduct secret RSS shakas in europe & middle east which they consider it as national threat..

Demand and supply...I dian can fill up the entire flight schedule that pushes up everything in those small nations.\n\nThe desperation is akin to causing stampede a nation of billion plus can make anybody jittery as a visa official they have no idea that people are instagram slaves and just want pretty pictures which will definitely not happen due to crowds of same Indian and also why all of us people with resources want to go abroad to study to travel to vacay it's loss making proposition..

every where Antindian sitting to degreed own nation example hungry index check pak and bangla

Every thing is about nationalism for these guys . \n Good media with good English .

Please stop talking about tax... We taxed more than developed nations...

India should have similiar rule for these nations. Its obvious that these nations have every right to deny visas, but they should refund the money spend on these obligations. And there should be a strict rules for refunds for rejections.

Because they cause problems and spread religion wars against other foreign nationals ... so

Thanks for rejection. Person must stop in India for whatever the reason. Government will be forced to do something as unemployment will rise. These educated class can show actual mirror to Modi and government. India need them more than other nations.

Glad to see many comments here that's calling out the unnecessary nationalism hitched to the visa rejections. You can't be in complete denial about the visa scams/forged documents.\n\nI regularly travel around the world for my business, witnessed way too much than I can handle. \nAll their antics start from boarding the plane itself, there on, they go full-on hysterical.. from being excessively loud on the plane to air hostesses begging them to put their cabin baggages back in before landing.., Carry that same unruly, cringe-worthy behaviour in that foreign land, all throughout seamlessly. \n And then when being called out, they're very quick to complain about being prejudiced/racism.\nWow, it's such a delight!!!

We Indians must agree that India is a $hithole country. First agree on this premise, so there is scope of improvement and think what to make our country prosperous.\nIn a prosperous country, every citizen will have high standard of living, will never dream of escaping away to get PR or citizenship of another nation.\nIMO, India will remain a $hithole as long as the population is above 400 million.

Palki Sharma demands as if every other nation has to fall on Indias feet and give them visas ??\nThat's not how it works Palki, respect must be earned. Indian tourists behavior, civic sense must be improved, the Pajit behavior should be changed. Most Indians are not civilized enough, their body language should be improved.\nLast but not the least, our population is immense and mind boggling, its a bit tooo much for any nation issuing visa.

This is what you get if you are most populous nation.\nYou cannot blackmail them to give visas.

India itself herving extreme nationalism...Then how they could expect easy Visa from others ?

Easy. At least in the USA and Canada Indians come here illegally \nThey are moving up in rankings as a nation source of illegal migration.

You are choosing to look at things unfairly as an Indian.\n\nI live in uganda and I have seen how Indians behave. They don't intermarry, most are racist and only marry among themselves and begin to speedily multiply in your nation. they look down on blacks/Africans in our own nation, they are rude and beat their wives, they are mean selling dangerous counterfeit products, some are involved in illegal businesses like fake money printing, when you supply them they don't want to pay back on time you may have to demand them for 6-12 months if you are to get your payment \n\nThese are some of the few issues I see about indians. Even I would refuse them a visa if it was upto me

UNNECESSARY NATIONALISM IS THE MAIN PROBLEM OF INDIA NOW.

Mark my words, if you don't build your nation then your knowledge is a waste. Thanks this is being delayed. Come and build your nation ?

The first step should be for the tourists to show less interest in the nations acting high and mighty. Those migrating for economic reasons will be picked as per the need of the host.

India is only a 5th largest economy on paper! It has the largest population of poor people in the world and off late India's diplomatic ties with many nations have taken a nosedive, even though the government would like you to believe something else.

We cant keep helping , At a certain point it has to slow , due to the ignorance of Trudeau he's created a disaster. At a certain point, the Waring nations have to no longer realize we wont take in the low aspects of their society. Those countries have to fix there issues and we cant take in their problems .

Palki is just trying to be nationalistic infront of home audience she knows the truth.\nGot kicked out from national news followed by WION and now FIRST POST ?

The government must do something about the movements of its people. I guess it's time for reciprocal visa arrangement with every country. India must leverage itseconomic status as the fifth in the world. It's time to stand up against those countries belittling other nations.

as an NRI who lived in US, UK, and Canada, I can tell you that the so called developed nations are over hyped. Yes, there are so many things that are better in these countries compared to india, but all these countries lack one thing. Respect towards fellow human beings. I lived in several states in India, we have problems, but nothing compared to these countries. Indians don't belong outside of india. Don't go to any country out side of iindia...you are not welcome. I came back to india and I am living peacefully.

Indians IT professionals made a good impression to allow for fellow indians to come. But the current middle class Indians make the west feel like you are living in India. I don't know what you are talking about Palki. There are more Indians than any other nation in the west.

And our govt who loves to haunt middle class with high tax says India's image has improved since Modi's non restricted visits around the globe. If we have become vishwa gurus, why are these countries humiliating an Indian citizen and why there is no value to Indian passport. The PM should talk less and work more. And to be fair Indians have no manners and discipline and can throw garbae and plastics on roads and violate rules hence cannot blame other nation. Here too it is failure of India which has not given priority to education and discipline. These rogues who throw garbage on roads and violate rules must be punished heavily. But populism of govt and useless and dangerous opposition is really hitting India hard.

Our passport ranking is similar to poor african nations what do you expect one of the worsts in the world . The government doesn't secure our countries borders to prevent illegal immigrants entering the nation and our some beloved Indians break rules and stay illegally in other countries . These are the situations of our country what do you expect from the developed world???

Why Indians aren't as welcomed in foreign nations? Because there are more than sufficient Indian CEO running foreign companies. I recall Palki Sharma bragged about the overwhelming number of Indian CEO running large US companies.

So true. Even genuine applications get rejected. That’s unacceptable considering Indian people are peaceful and adding more value to every nation they visit.
